Lots of Posts, Lots to Go

Yep, in the catching up process there will sometimes be lots of posts at a time, but they will slowly get longer and more in depth as I catch up.  So yes, there will be lots of posts at first, but this is the final one for the night.  I’ve chattered enough tonight about some of life’s changes including our SUPER vacation that we’ll be on in 100 days, done a little ranting about the random contacts I have from companies that obviously don’t know me (like strivectin) and asked for your advice. So with that I have some grading and lesson plans to do and then want to get a decent night’s sleep as it will be a long week. … Read entire article »

What’s Coming – (And What’s Not)

So I’ve already had an email from one loyal reader (hey…thanks to just these few posts I know of 2 – one that emailed, one that commented…LOVED YA’LL) asking what reviews were going to be coming up so I thought I’d share that I have an adult product review half written, an awesome computer lap desk, and some super Spelling computer software.   And what have I turned down lately? Some toys that I knew Cameron would have no interest in, there won’t be any murad skin care reviews or any on the discounts from various vendors (that I didn’t think were big discounts).    So stay tuned for those few that I’ve started and know that you won’t see the others. … Read entire article »

Reviews – Who Reads? Who Writes?

At one time I was really active with writing reviews, but as life got crazy and something had to give, I started writing less and less until now I have several products that still need good reviews written, and I will do them. I keep these products and paperwork set aside until I do get back into the swing of things, but I also love to read other people’s reviews.  I like to know what people think – who uses it in their house, and how do they use it?  And thanks to the Internet, there are now reviews out there from everything from shoe reviews to colonix review reviews.  You can find everything reviewed now days. My favorite are the As Seen on TV products.  I am a sucker … Read entire article »

Reliable Reviews

How do you know when you’ve found a reliable review? One that is written by a company employee? Or a paid review that is influenced by money or free samples?  This has been a big issue when looking at blog reviews lately, but I have to admit that I’m more leery of reviews on sites where everyone is posting their reviews for a product in one place.  I always wonder how many are true reviews and how many are one person posting many reviews or even a company having several of their employees posting reviews. On blog reviews, I tend to find that I feel a connection to the blogger and find them more trustworthy.  I was looking at reviews for Acnepril when I really got to thinking about this. … Read entire article »

Would You Blog?

Recently I’ve started receiving emails from different PR reps asking if I’d be willing to review their products.  As long as someone in our house will enjoy them, I say of course, but I have to ask – if you see that I’m a teacher and it’s just the girls and I, then you would know that I probably can’t provide a good review of your industrial products. I’m sorry, but we just don’t have  many chances for that in our day to day life.  Really? I love reviewing products, but let’s look at the reviewers, PLEASE!  that way I can provide thorough reviews of your products. … Read entire article »
